The politician makes promises and is motivated by pride, ego, notoriety and personal success. The statesman keeps commitments, is motivated by service above and beyond self, and by making a lasting difference. The typical politician spews tired rhetoric while lining their pockets, and has little hope for becoming significant.

Read on and find out… People who attempt to lead out of self-serving motivations or misplaced intentions are not really leading – they are pursuing power, glory and status.

The truth of the matter is that few things have inspired and motivated me over the years like the quiet confidence and humility of great leaders.

Sure it is…but it is much, much more difficult, rarely sustainable, and leaders who lack humility are always called into question with regard to motives and agendas.
